Self being Co-coach of the year is deserved( I guess) With our current roster, it was a great coaching job overall.

Newman- I don't know about this award that much. He did some really good things during the Big 12 season, but as of late not much in my eyes.

This to me sums up the Big 12. Our coach wins the COach of the Year, our best player wins the POY, and our 2nd or 3rd best player wins the newcomer. This conference was solid this season. It was not great, but solid. We might have some really good coaches in it, but talent is still in blue. Even in a year when we are not all that, we still out class most teams in this conference.

i see what you did there. but why the animus? the fact k-state will have two preseason first teamers and the poy next fall shouldn't be seen as a threat to bill's transfer-u program. only tubby can speak to that.

He was the #106 recruit according to rivals in 2015. He definitely played AAU ball...for some smaller "Mid-Kansas" team from a brief internet search.

We took Diallo and Bragg that year. KU never offered but watched him play and showed some interest. I believe Wade visited KSU, committed, and then stopped taking calls while also cancelling any other visits to Wichita State, Iowa, others.
